How long is the First Aid at Work Requalification course in Leicester?

The First Aid at Work Requalification in Leicester runs over 2 consecutive days, 12 contact hours in total (6 hours per day). It's the HSE-aligned refresher route for first aiders whose existing 3-day FAW certificate is still in date.

Who is the 2-day FAW Requalification in Leicester suitable for?

It's for designated workplace first aiders in Leicester whose existing First Aid at Work certificate has not yet expired (or is within HSE's recommended grace period). If your certificate has already lapsed beyond that window, you should book the full 3-day First Aid at Work course instead.

How long is the requalification certificate valid for?

The First Aid at Work certificate is valid for 3 years from the requalification date. HSE recommends an annual half-day refresher between certificates to keep skills sharp. Our Leicester schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby East Midlands towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around the Pioneer Park / Space City cluster.

When should I book the requalification in Leicester?

HSE recommends sitting the FAW requalification before your current certificate expires. We run public 2-day requalification dates in Leicester most months and we can also arrange on-site sessions for Magna Park, Fosse Park, Meridian and East Midlands manufacturing employers with a short lead time.

What if my First Aid at Work certificate has already expired?

If your FAW certificate expired more than HSE's recommended grace period ago, you'll need the full 3-day First Aid at Work course rather than the 2-day requalification. We run both courses in Leicester — get in touch and we'll point you at the right dates. Public Leicester dates near the Pioneer Park / Space City cluster fill quickly — book early or request an in-house session for your East Midlands team.

Where is the public requalification course held in Leicester?

Public First Aid at Work Requalification courses run at our Leicester venue in Wigston (about 10 minutes from M1 J21), with good parking and easy access from Meridian Business Park, Fosse Park, Magna Park, Enderby and the wider East Midlands.

Can you deliver the requalification on-site at our Leicester workplace?

Yes. We deliver on-site 2-day FAW Requalification across Leicester and the surrounding area for groups of up to 12 learners. We supply all manikins, AED trainers, bandages and casualty simulation kit; you provide a room large enough for practical work and refreshments.

What's covered on the 2-day requalification in Leicester?

The 2-day requalification revisits the full First Aid at Work syllabus — primary survey, CPR and AED use, choking, severe bleeding and shock, burns, fractures, head and spinal injuries, chest, abdominal and pelvic injuries, poisoning, anaphylaxis, asthma, diabetic emergencies, seizures and unresponsive casualty management — at a faster pace because you're already a trained first aider.

How is the requalification assessed?

Assessment is continuous and practical throughout the 2 days, plus short written question papers — the same HSE-aligned format as the full First Aid at Work course. There's no separate end-of-course exam. If your team is based around Meridian Business Park or elsewhere in Leicester, our trainers travel to your site for closed groups of 6+.

How does the requalification fit with our HSE first-aid needs assessment?

Your first-aid needs assessment determines how many first aiders your workplace needs and at what level. If it identified higher-risk activities and you currently hold the 3-day First Aid at Work certificate, the 2-day requalification keeps the same qualification in place for a further 3 years. Most of our first aid at work requalification learners in Leicester come from teams around Meridian Business Park — book here and we'll run the session at a venue close by.

Is an annual refresher required between requalifications?

HSE strongly recommends a half-day annual skills refresher between FAW certificates. It's not a legal requirement but it's the recommended way to keep CPR, AED and bleed-control skills current — we run annual refresher sessions in Leicester as standalone half-days or alongside CPD time. Our Leicester schedule runs alongside cohorts in nearby East Midlands towns, so you can pick whichever date suits your shift pattern around the Cultural Quarter.

How do I get to the Leicester venue and is parking available?

The Leicester venue in Wigston is about 10 minutes from M1 J21, with free on-site parking and easy access from Meridian Business Park, Fosse Park, Magna Park, Enderby, Hinckley, Loughborough and Market Harborough; also reachable by bus from Leicester city centre and Leicester station.
